Do You Have What it Takes to Become a
Successful Real Estate Professional?
Being a real estate sales professional requires a very special personality. Here are some qualities shared by successful Sales
Associates. This list might help you decide if you should make a full-time commitment to a very rewarding career.
Must Truly Like People
Residential real estate is an extremely people-oriented
profession. If you are energized just being around others,
you’ll not only enjoy real estate, you’ll likely be very
successful at it. On the other hand, if you require solitude
to be productive, you should keep that in mind when
considering a real estate career.
Must Be Financially Solvent
The pressure of unpaid bills can ruin a budding real estate
career. You should have enough savings to live comfortably for four to six months when starting out. That way,
you’ll be able to focus all of your energy on providing
excellent service to your customers, not just closing deals
and collecting commissions.
Must Have Empathy
In addition to liking people, you should also be able to
empathize with them. You need to understand their needs
and desires without becoming overly involved with their
personal problems.
Must Be Team Oriented
Real estate agents are independent contractors. However,
as a Reece & Nichols Sales Associate, you are part of
something bigger - the most successful team of real estate
professionals in the area. Independent, yet never isolated.
Must Have a Healthy Ego
This doesn’t mean you are egotistical; rather, it implies
self-confidence and pride. Whatever you do, you do well.
Must Be Emotionally Stable
The nature of our business can be like a roller coaster ride
with extreme heights and sudden plunges. To prosper, you
must recover quickly from lost sales and accept success
graciously.
Must Be a Self-Starter
Real estate is a business where working hard and doing the
right things can yield tremendous financial rewards. On
the other hand, there is no compensation for just “showing up” every day. You must establish clear goals, organize
your priorities and stay focused on your objectives.
Must Have Patience
You’ll need a lot of patience to handle the various “hurry
up and wait” aspects of the business. This is a people
business and you will occasionally be required to deal with
people who try your patience. You can’t allow someone
else to cause you to lose your composure.
Must Have a Thirst for Knowledge
Our business is constantly changing. You must learn and
grow continuously in order to be able to provide the best
possible service to your customers. The best agents avail
themselves of every opportunity to learn, whether they get
“credit” or not.
Must Be a Good Listener
The notion of the “fast-talking” real estate salesperson is
as out-dated as the typewriter. To be a successful
REALTOR, you must be an excellent communicator, able
to both speak and listen well. YOur ability to understand
what your buyers and sellers are telling you is absolutely
essential.
Uncompromising Honesty & Integrity
Must Have Physical Stamina
Selling real estate is a very demanding profession. At the
end of a long day of showings, missed meals and stressful
negotiations, a Sales Associate may still find him/herself
presenting an offer that can mean the difference between
success and failure. Extended hours come with the
territory.
Must Have a Tolerant Family
This is very important. Without the confidence, support,
trust and understanding of the family, the new sales
person works against unfavorable odds. A clear understanding of the hours, commission arrangements and
demands of the business by all parties is essential.
Must Be Business Minded
Be aware that real estate professionals are independent
contractors. Because you will be starting your own
business, you need to be mentally willing to accept the
challenge.
So now that you’ve decided you really want a
career in real estate, how do you get started?
